P.M.J. Stromberg <[email protected]>:
In a linear regression, you can run the fully interacted model or use
-suest-, but see e.g.
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-02/msg00898.html
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-02/msg00911.html
on the -probit- equivalent.  In short, logit and probit do not
identify both the coefs *and* the error variance, so differences can
be observed across subsamples because the coefs differ *or* because
the error variance differs (or both).
